The 'King's Man' release date moved up to early Feb 2021 by Disney
The 'King's Man' has been moved up by Disney. It has been postponed a number of times, but for the first time the release date has been upped by two weeks
Disney has postponed several of its upcoming projects, including Marvel films. However, the new release map came in as a bit of a relief for Kings Man franchise fans, as the forthcoming addition, The King’s Man release date has not been delayed. Instead, it has been moved up by a couple of weeks.
Disney moves up 'The King’s Man' release date by two weeks
The King’s Man has been facing release date issue for quite a long time now. The movie was initially set to release on November 15, 2019, but was later pushed to February 14, 2020. Then the film was scheduled to hit the theatres on September 18, 2020. Around a month ago, the project was given a release date of February 26, 2021. Now, Disney has again provided a fresh date for its 20th Century Studios’ spy action venture. The King’s Man is currently eyeing to premiere in cinemas on February 12, 2021, being moved up by two weeks.
The change came as Disney shifted a number of its upcoming releases. It includes Marvel movies like Black Widow, Eternals and Shang-Chi and the Legends of the Ten Rings. The King’s Man has landed the date of Eternals. The multi-starrer superhero film was scheduled for a February 12, 2021, release. It has now been pushed to November 5, 2021. As Disney had a vacant date, it upped the premiere date of The King’s Man. The company seems to be keen on giving the film a theatrical release as it is a part of an already well-stabilised franchise.
